Traditionally Damiana is used in Mexico to flavour liqueurs, food, beverages and more importantly as a refreshing tea. It's taste is a little bitter although is pleasant, similar to that of Chamomile. It doesn't contain caffeine so can be enjoyed throughout the day.
To make a tea using our wild harvested Damiana leaf steep one teaspoon of dried Damiana leaf per cup of hot but not boiling water for 3-5 minutes.
